Hmmm... :)

Okay, just as a heads up, right now I'm going to be talking about one of the most controversial topics in America today. One that thousands, if not millions of people have found themselves involved in. One that help rewrite today's society and culture. Twilight. No, not the time of day when the sun sinks below the horizon. The "Twilight" that I'm talking about is the book series that got author Stephanie Meyer instant fame, the one that helped launch this new era of vampire fascination, as well as, to some extent, interest in werewolves and other creatures. The books, which have been on bestseller lists everywhere, is one of the big things for this generation, like facebook and texting. I myself am not a huge fan of the Twilight books. I don't care for vampires at all, much less sparkly ones. But I can understand why they're such a hit. They provide dozens upon dozens of people, girls and women primarily, with a certain fulfillment. They wish for someone to love them as fully and completely as Edward allegedly does. But Edward is but a man- a very very old sparkly blood-thirsty "man"-fantastical supernatural being- but a man just the same. And man messes up.
Man disappoints.
Man fails.
Man is not perfect.
So why do people insist on putting hopes and trust in men, fictional or not? I think it might be because it's what we're used to. We're used to depending on the tangible, the hands on stuff. But sometimes we forget, if we can hold it, it can break. The only thing that we can truly rely on is that which we can not physically touch. If you can't hold it, you can't break it. God, Jesus, He's the only One who can truly love you, truly fulfill you, truly sustain you. He can fill every void you have in your life, I promise. It's time to make sure that everyone knows it. There's too much pain to let them keep hurting. To many broken hearts for them to keep getting disappointed. Jesus is the only one who can heal the hurting and mend the broken for good. Let them know. :)

  1. Hello Miss Kerusso,

    This is excellent insight. I have seen posters for the movies and pictures on-line advertising the series; but, I have not seen it. Our family ditched t.v. because we don't want to see that kind of thing.

    I had not thought of the series as a looking for someone to fill that deep heart need for love. You are correct that the only place that love can be found is through Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and God the Father.

    I found you through book sneeze. I'm glad I did. Have a wonderful week!
